NRA says they just want to enforce existing gun laws - but then do everything they can to stop that

They say we don't need any new gun laws, just enforce the laws already in place.

Except when it comes to actually enforcing those laws, they really don't even want that.

They are against any sort of federal firearms database. In some places, they've managed to get laws passed actually requiring the destruction of firearms applications within a short amount of time. They are dead set against any sort of registration - fearing that some day, gub'mit brownshirts will use this as a basis to go barging into people's houses to take their guns.

Jon Stewart had a great piece on this recently detailing the NRA's opposition to many common sense methods that would actually make it much easier to enforce current gun laws.

So remember this whenever you hear someone say "just enforce the laws we already have".
